This is exactly the way it should be! This is great! This is the most important part of engineering of systems that has been minimized over the past two decades in the rush to build. Now that the building is more automated, the specifications and system design can take the important lead again. Engineering and quality might be back!

One thesis I am developing is that LLMs have given us a new kind of tradeoff. We can use the intelligence and tremendous speed up that mechanically pumping out basic CRUD code has given and we can either deliver more features or deliver higher quality.

What that means to me is that there is a balance. My belief is that we have to take some of the new power and put it towards quality rather than spend it all on speed.

Do you really believe that? If I would be employer or manager of developers saying that they need to carefully design whole system for the agent to implement, so not a technical person, it would look like their are buying their time.

I believe that it will be the case. 'What design?! Just feed Jira ticket and business documentation to Claude and quit stalling!!'

Joke’s on you, Claude is writing that too

Why's it a joke, looks like quality and good engineering will be faster for what we build and maintain.
